Event boosts protection of intellectual property rights

The first China International Import Expo is making a concerted effort to ensure the protection of intellectual property rights and deal with commercial disputes during the event.

The event organizer, the China International Import Expo Bureau, has set up a center for IPR protection, where professionals from relevant departments have been invited to offer on-site consultation and services to participants.

Wang Bingnan, vice-minister of commerce, said the expo attaches great importance to IPR protection because it is a platform for the release of new technologies and products, and it aims to create a fair trading environment and effectively safeguard the interests of all parties.
